He studied at the Burslem School of Art, the Royal College of Art and in Italy, and himself became the headmaster of Regent Street School of Art in London. He exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours and the Royal Society of British Artists, of which he became a member in 1920.
